Silva forced a doctor stoppage against the revered Russian in the quarter-finals of the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix at Strikeforce “Fedor vs. Silva” on Saturday at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J. The end came between rounds two and three, Emelianenko’s right eye having been swollen shut by a series of hammerfists from the monstrous Brazilian. “I trained hard for this fight with my camp,” Silva said. “All the people say, ‘Fedor, Fedor, Fedor.’ I trained too hard, and I showed it to the world now. I want the best heavyweights in the world.” A competitive first round gave way to a lopsided second. Silva ducked one of Fedor’s trademark overhand rights and scored with a takedown inside the first five seconds. He passed to half guard and then to North-South position before moving to full mount. Hammerfists left Emelianenko’s face a mangled mess and forced the former Pride Fighting Championships heavyweight titleholder to surrender his back more than once. Silva worked first for a rear-naked choke and later an arm-triangle choke that nearly finished Emelianenko. Exhausted by the worst beating of his storied career, Emelianenko saw his last-gasp effort come up short, as the two men traded leglock attempts at the close of the second round. The Russian returned to his corner, where it soon became clear he could no longer continue. Never before had Emelianenko been so thoroughly dominated. Emelianenko, who had gone nearly a decade without a loss, has now been finished twice in the span of eight months. Afterward, he hinted at retirement. “Something went wrong from the very beginning, and I couldn’t readjust myself. Maybe it’s time to leave,” he said. “Yes, maybe it’s the last time. Maybe it’s high time. Thank you for everything. I spent a great, beautiful, long sporting life. Maybe it’s God’s will.” [/quote] Awww, fucking shit, my heart stopped, I didn't see coming at all.
sorry, whats this about?
what the FUCK, almost the same exact move he lost from - except it was an arm triangle
I'm pretty bummed about the stoppage. I guess Strikeforce is a little different though, as I think of what the UFC would do; look at GSP vs. Koscheck: that fight was never stopped due to the swollen eye, why was this one? I learned about Fedor only a few months ago, last night was my first chance to see him fight live on tv, and then he hints at retirement. I was kinda shocked. Reguardless, basically every match was really awesome! I was entertained, but I went to bed feeling odd because of what happened in this match.
It wasn't Strikeforce that stopped the fight, it was the ringside doctor, which was assigned by the state of New Jersey. I love Fedor that man is my hero but I think he should retire. He just hasn't really evolved and doesn't seem to have the same attitude towards fighting anymore.
Im not big into MMA. But I've heard of this guy before, is he the one that UFC could never get to fight for them? Also is 2 losses really that bad in MMA?

Only two losses isn't bad at all(depending on how many wins though) Also Strikeforce > UFC
